Default Same issue on 2000 fhltc

The sound is hard to describe. It is not a foreign noise (Buzzing, static, etc)
But more of an extreme vibrato. It just sounds like it is pulsating.

Now it doesn't make any difference what source I am using (Radio, AUX, Cassette). I can't tell if the rear speakers are making this noise, but it is definitely coming out of both front speakers.

Like I said, it sounds good when the bike isn't moving or if the volume isn't turned up more than halfway. But I need to have it turned up that much in order to hear the radio over the motor.
Hey, I ran into your comment while looking for answers for the same issue. Does it also happen when you are using you engine to slow down by shifting down I’ve noticed that in my case it distort more when the engine reverbs. Did you find a solution ?

Does your radio have the AVC function? You might need to turn it to one bar.

Also the treble and base might be set too high.
Sometimes difficult problems have simple solutions.
